Nice paper, great size, perfect for journaling.

No bleeding, just the paper is not super thick

The paper feels cheap and thin and I can see the ghosting of THREE previous pages which has practically made the journal unusable for me.

For those who don't like grid paper this is a great alternative.

Covers are strong, good paper, and clearly numbered pages.

Pens love this paper

The paper is really good

HOWEVER, the paper smudges like crazy

Paper can bleed through some pens, but nothing major

Leutchtturm does quality paper very well, as you know

The paper is also lovely and smooth and I love the hard cover and elastic band -- my journals have a tendency to get beaten up but this feels like it will remain in good condition

The paper is the best

Great paper.

EVERYONE is saying the paper is bad

Paper is a great quality, only slight bleed through

The paper is wonderful and I can use almost every pen I own without bleedthrough.

smooth paper, dots give great stability, love the little pocket in the back

smooth paper, dots give great stability, love the little pocket in the back

The elastic strap secures all my loose papers I shove in my notebook.

The paper is amazing , and minor shadowing and haven't had bleed through!!!!!!!!!

Love that the paper is so smooth

The quality the paper is great, I tried several mediums in it and none of them bleed out

It opens flat, the pages are numbered with 3 index pages, the dot pages make it easy to customize each one, and the paper is smooth and welcoming to a variety of inks and paints

I prefer the dotted paper, which works like graph paper without the annoying ever-present lines

If so, this one does the job, Lechtturm uses great paper - unless you're using a particularly watery marker or fountain pen, ghosting is minimal to non-existent

very soft paper very good size

Great paper quality, and the dot grid is a wonderful hybrid of graph and plain paper

This paper isn't made for anything super watery or wet, so it'll warp the paper slightly if you like to add a bit of watercolor to your journal.

I prefer Moleskins paper over these but to each their own

Good paper quality, amazing number of pages and highly durable

and I don't like too thin paper,

the paper is great

Nice paper, and having the numbered pages helps with indexing.

Good paper.

paper and cover are very smooth, subtle dot grid pattern, and like the table of contents

The paper wrinkles a bit, but nothing serious

The paper is no better than the cheap I composition books

Good quality paper.

Great paper and a good sized journal.

The paper is so soft and smooth, I just love running my hand over a clean page

I like the paper,

Love the color, and love the paper

Would like the paper a little thicker though

Good paper quality, with minimal see-through

This is my favorite bullet journal type - there is an index to keep you on track and it has great quality paper, which is all numbered!

Beautiful journal, nice quality paper, love the cover color, love that it lays flat when open.

The paper hasn't bled with anything I've used so far.- A5 size paper

This journal boasts a beautiful cover, handy elastic page marker, and paper that doesn't "ghost" too much even when using markers.

Pens flow smoothly across the surface, but the paper takes pencil as well

I like the size and the hardcover, but the paper is absolutely TERRIBLE.

Excellent quality paper.

I love the dotted paper because they are not intrusive in the final look, but help with the page design.

Wider array of color, and I liked the paper more.

Solid construction, great paper.

Tho haven't used it much yet, delicious sensual paper quality

The build of the notebook seems to be good, with good quality paper and a nice cover

Great paper and incredibly durable

The paper is great, there's rarely any bleed

Great paper, perfect size, couldn't be happier

The side is great, the paper is perfect for not bleeding through, and it even includes some stickers to put on the cover and spine to identify the book

Like the other reviews said, the paper is very thin

Love the dot paper.

Durable paper for most inks and graphite

There is also a handy pouch in the back to store loose papers and it's held closed when storing in bags with a durable band

The color is pretty, the paper is great, and I the dot grid is a perfect

The paper is ideal for my fountain pens and I've even discovered some inks to show sheen on this paper

I've always sort of shunned moleskines, having found their paper kind of awful, and this is an excellent alternative

Excellent quality paper and a lovely color for the cover.

However, this paper is the best paper I have used for these types of pens

notebook is as expected, good quality paper

Great cover, great quality paper, and some nifty features

The notebook is unusable - why can't they just use "cheap" paper?

They have a range of great colors and the paper is perfect for fountain pens

I pretty much always write with a medium nib fountain pen, and the paper takes the ink really well

The paper doesn't bleed through, and the size of the pages are just perfect

This paper isn't made for anything super watery or wet, so it'll warp the paper slightly if you like to add a bit of watercolor to your journal.

The paper is comparable to Moleskin, as well...

I would prefer a slightly thicker paper, but I am using the notebook anyway for my bullet journal.

Even spacing and even number of spaces on each page (26 x 36) and great paper

I love this paper and the notebook design

Good paper!

These journals have super high quality paper and are great with any pens!

The paper however was pretty smooth and works well with my tombow brush pens

The paper however was pretty smooth and works well with my tombow brush pens

The paper is smooth

I had seen the name (Leuchtturm1917) all over when looking for "the" bullet journal to try, but I can't understand why people are obsessed with THIS particular one, since there are others out there that likely have MUCH better paper that you can't actually see through!

For fountain pen users, the paper is significantly better than many other journals

The elastic strap secures all my loose papers I shove in my notebook.

Good quality paper and layout inside the book

Paper isn't expensive these days, so probably that could happen, although, it's imported from Germany, so perhaps that makes the difference

The quality is top shelf and the paper feels like butter

Good paper for pretty much every pen I use.

The paper is good

Yet they managed to find decent paper

Great paper; holds up very well, and I've used Staedler pens, watercolor brush pens, and all manner of gel ink pens

durable cover, paper doesn't feel cheap.

I wish the paper was just a bit thicker, like the similar moleskin products.

The paper feels strong

The paper is high quality and is smooth, and I LOVE the dots!

Paper itself is smooth, thin, & off white, and the hardcover protects the notebook very well but be advised if you're hard on this notebook the cover will show dents and scuffs

The paper is smooth and pens like a Steadtler Tri Plus Fineliner or my fountain pen just glide across the page

The paper is a little too cream for my taste, but if you don't like white paper, this is fine

Paper itself is smooth, thin, & off white, and the hardcover protects the notebook very well but be advised if you're hard on this notebook the cover will show dents and scuffs

Thick smooth paper, and plenty of it

The paper is smooth and my pens don't bleed through

The format of this journal is great and very well thought out -- pockets in both front and back, numbered pages, table-of-contents, ribbon bookmarks, elastic closure -- but the paper is not as good as I had been led to believe.

Beautiful paper and presentation

the paper takes ink well.

The pages didn't feel any thinner than most nice grade notebook paper (like mead)

Go to any supermarket and buy the cheapest spiral, and that will have decent paper

I was never drawn to them for their hipster cache; I just prefer plain-covered notebooks that are durable and have decent quality paper, and those became my trusted standby

Excellent paper quality

The paper is super smooth and has a nice sweet smell to it

The paper is smooth and the cover keeps its shape even when tossed in my bag daily!

The paper feels nice

However, the paper is disappointing, it is so thin that my gel ballpoint pin is clearly visible on the back of every page

Excellent notebook -- high quality paper, good size.

Great quality, great paper, great size and overall a really good value as well

Nice paper.

It does ghost quite a bit - the paper could be smoother and thicker,

It has nice paper and a sturdy cover.

I wanted to love this but the paper in this

The paper quality it terrific!I bought the pink color and its perfect!

One star was lost because of how thin paper is & how easily pens bled through

Paper works with fountain pens, Moleskin doesn't.

Nice quality paper with lots of little features in the book, like a storage pocket and two bookmarks

The paper is smooth and light but my pen ink absorbs quickly and easily, no smudging if I give it a few seconds to dry

Good paper quality, amazing number of pages and highly durable

Horrible quality paper

I love the dot paper, very high quality!

The color is bright, the binding seems secure, the paper is smooth and smudges easily

Great paper

I wish I could get this color in a Rhodia journal because I like their paper better, it feels more luxurious when I'm

Thin shiny paper that bleeds

The paper is smooth and easy to write on - HOWEVER, this product only earns 3 stars because the paper is so thin.

I was skeptical of how thin the paper was/how easily ink bled through the paper

The paper is high quality and most markers will not bleed through

Should this paper be so transparent?

Paper is buttery smooth writing & fountain pen friendly

The one star guys are just mad and want justice and just say the paper is bad and move on with their lives

Love the paper.

the only reason this didn't get 5 stars was because I'd like the paper to be just a bit thicker

I had created and printed my own dot grid paper using a very heavy, smooth HP bright white paper (LOVE IT!)

The paper is smooth and the dots are perfect

It also looks great in this color, and the paper is fantastic for every kind of pen you might throw at it, including fountain pens

Pros: there isn’t any bleeding; you can choose a full grid (essentially graph paper) or just dot grid; there is a wide variety of colors to choose from; and the pages are numbered

The paper is so smooth making it very easy to write on

only complaint is that the paper isn't very usable with my fountain pen ink

Paper is really nice, works well with rollerball and fountain pens.

Paper is really nice, works well with rollerball and fountain pens.

Excellent paper quality, easy to carry around.

The paper is also nice and thick and there's a built in index

Paper is soft and great to write on

The pages are thick enough to use water based markers but not great if you like to use calligraphy pens because the paper isn't quite smooth enough.

The paper is nice and creamy

The paper is completely transparent.

Like the books marks, the light paper, I don't use all the organizational

The pocket on the inside holds important papers, and my tiny ruler.

durable cover, paper doesn't feel cheap

The paper is nice and thick, doesn't bleed

The paper has some ghosting but minimal bleed through

Paper is quite a bit thicker, and although some markers do show through the pages a little, it doesn't bleed through like the moleskin did.

Paper ghosts really really bad

The paper feels and looks nice, but the pens I use (Uni-ball Signo 207s) bleed through

Overall, I think the paper is better, too

Great paper that doesn't bleed with normal fountain pens.

Lovely paper quality, nice journal.

Really nice paper

There is significant ghosting (when you can see on the reverse side of the page what you've written) that is so distracting as to make the journal not suitable to my purposes

I love the color and the sturdy construction, as well as the pre-numbered pages and back pouch

It's more SECURE this way for sure, and probably better for most people, but I prefer a

I had no idea there was a product out there that would be as good as, or better, than my trusty Moleskin notebooks.

The dots do not look as dark and far apart as they do in the photo, which is a relief.
